Wednesday, October 5th, found us at the Fairmont Newport Beach Hotel attending the Meeting Professionals International – Orange County Chapter (MPI-OC) October 2011 Event. Wow – what fun!

Can you spot yourself in this video?!

(OOOPS! I’m still learning…I made Titles too big, even though they looked OK while creating video – I’ll have to go back and create video again with corrections! Hope you enjoy it anyway – check back to see the corrected one!!)

The Staff at Fairmont NB outdid themselves and hosted a terrific event…quote “…they’ve set the bar very high!” A lively 1920’s theme was accentuated by the Dave Eastly Jazz Trio (Upright Bass, Guitar, Violin) which played for Cocktails out in the Foyer, then moved inside the Ballroom and played throughout Dinner. To further enliven the theme, two “Flapper Girls” greeted the Guests during Cocktails. (Both provided by Essence Entertainment.)

Dinner was highlighted with a quick little “raid” (provided by Fairmont NB Staff), followed by the Keynote Speaker, Patrick O’Malley – www.617-Patrick.com. Patrick shared his valuable knowledge of and experience with Social Media, and highlighted areas particularly appropriate for the Event Planning industry. He is an expert particularly with Linkedin, and I learned quite a bit from his presentation. Thanks, Patrick!
